You seem like angry and I don’t want to upset you.
You posted a link that said comforters and duvets are different and only duvets go into covers and asked what comforters are called on the UK. So I did the continuing the conversation and tying to make sense of the answer thing of explains about the U.K. word eiderdown and asked about the one area where the information you provided doesn’t fit with the video we were commenting on - that a comforter is being put in a cover. That was like curiosity and trying to refine my understanding not like an attack
I don’t expect any one American to be able to like answer for all American dialects. Or any one UK person. It would be perfectly reasonable for you to say (assuming it’s true) that you’ve always heard comforter and duvet used differently and don’t know why the video-person would be putting a comforter in a duvet cover or that it’s a regional variation or the person is just being weird or whatever But it’s not like I’m snarking about how an obscure this-one-person-you-might-never-have-heard-of-said-this-thing-one-time so you are therefore Bad and Wrong. I’m just trying to make sense of how the video shared in this thread fits with the information you provided.
And I have no idea who Iain Stirling is but there are d/g/j mergers in some UK accents (like how garage gets pronounced “ga-rid-j” particularly in the South East/London). As well as the obvious fact that different people have different mouths and vocal cords that make slightly different sounds even within the same accent group
